At breakfast this morning, I distinctly heard my Rice Krispies say, “Snap-Lrackle-F*ck him George carlin
This just keeps getting better and better. You may remember that I wrote a couple of days ago that in trying to adjourn the House for their annual August break early, all MAGA Mike Johnson was doing was expediting the return of his minions to the meat grinder of their constituents.
It’s actually worse than that. Because Traitor Tot is the modern incarnation of The Roslyn Village Idiot, he can’t resist mucking things up even worse, because as a very stable genius, he alone can fix this. What’s known to the rest of us slobs as famous last words.
Earlier today, in a desperate attempt to take the pressure off of the Epstein scandal, El Pendejo Presidente ordered the release of a huge tranche of FNI documents and investigative files relating to Martin Luther King, Jr. There is no doubt that much of this is virulent racist smears and lies trying to discredit King to then white voters.
Stupid is as stupid does. If Il Douche thinks that this is going to divert his riled up base by throwing them racist raw red meat, he is going to be disappointed. His MAGA base couldn’t care less about MLK and stuff from way back when some of them weren’t born. No. You know what their response is going to be? Great! If you can release sh*t more than 50 years old, then releasing files that are less than 20 years old should be a piece of cake! Fork it over.
And smarter MAGA House caucus members seem to have finally gotten the memo. he came right out and said, If leadership thinks that by sending us home early for a six week break, that they’re going to have this thing wither and die on the vine, they’re crazy. When we come back it’s just going to Jeffrey Epstein 2.0.
But Johnson likely won’t pay attention to sages like Massey, nor will he pay attention to logic from people like Rachel Maddow. She put it better tonight in her hand off to Lawrence O’Donnell than anybody else could;
You know, there are a whole lot of people out there who don’t obsessively follow politics like we do, especially in the summer. A lot of people probably aren’t really tuned in right now to this entire mess, but they still watch the nightly news. And if they hear on the nightly news that the GOP has adjourned the House for six weeks to try to run from this Epstein scandal, then the die will be cast. And come September when they return, everybody they don’t want thinking about this will be wondering what they’ll do about the Epstein scandal that they all ran away from.
Rachel, you. go girl! MAGA Mike is trying to send his minions scurrying home early to hide under the wainscotting for six weeks so that when they scurry back to the House in September, everybody will have forgotten what a bunch of duplicitous rodents they all are. But if Johnson pulls the trigger on the early adjournment, then by the very nature of his skullduggery, neither Trump nor anybody else can argue that the Epstein affair is a liberal hit job scandal, by the mechanics of their cut and run strategy, it will be permanently considered a GOP cover up scandal.
You know, for all of my life I have been in awe of politicians who had such finely honed political skills that they could walk the tightrope from scandal to scandal and still be reelected. But this MAGA gang is the first time I’ve ever seen a politician not only turn on a spot light, and not only sit in a wooden chair directly in front of it, but then sit there and start to bang themselves over the head with a phone book. They’re doing our work for us.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
